Does anybody have information on the engineering graduation rate of freshman admits? What percent stick w/the program and graduate w/an engineering degree (vs switching to an easier major or dropping out of UCLA altogether) w/in 4 or even 5 years?
I can find the overall 4-6 year graduation rate of UCLA, but this isn’t broken down by major.
And I found this https://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/enrollment-degree-statistics-new/ where it looks like about 720-740 BS undergrad engineering degrees are awarded per year. 638-774 freshman are enrolled per year, but then there are also 151-240 transfers. So, we are losing a bunch of students (if you add the transfers to the freshman admits) since not that many end up graduating. And it’s unclear if it’s mainly the freshman admits that drop out, or the transfers? And the stats become even muddier b/c they don’t enroll a consistent number of freshman/transfers each year. And not everyone will graduate in exactly 4 years (or transfers in 2 years).
You would think that the school of engineering would have a high retention and graduation rate, given how difficult it is to get into. But, I can’t tell if this is the case.
